Betty Lou Forsyth

Betty Lou Forsyth, age 92, passed away on May 5, 2026, in Beavercreek, Ohio. Born on March 9, 1934, in Dayton, Ohio, Betty left an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing her.

A proud graduate of Stivers High School, Class of 1952, Betty's early years laid a foundation for a life filled with dedication and warmth. She dedicated a portion of her career to serving others while working in the cafeteria at the Chrysler Corporation, where her friendly demeanor and caring nature endeared her to many.

Known fondly as “everyone’s Mom” and often called the “fun” Mom, Betty was deeply involved in her children's lives. Her home was a welcoming place where friends and family felt embraced and loved. She had a fiery spirit at times—marked by honesty and an outspoken nature—that balanced her loving and lively personality. Betty loved life and touched many lives right up until her passing.

Her hobbies reflected her vibrant personality; she was an avid reader and enjoyed playing cards, activities that brought joy and connection throughout her life.

Betty is survived by her loving daughters, Candy (Doug) King, Kimberly Frantz, and Karen (Ed) Wendling; her step-daughter, Pam (Gary) Meeks; grandchildren, Tracy Setser, Crystal Harvey, Christopher King and Jennifer Williamson; and great-grandchildren, Madison Pohlad, Kasey Jarvis, Christopher King, Aiden King, Lucian King, Trent Harvey, Jaye Williamson, and Jack Williamson. Their lives were brightened by her steadfast love and devotion.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Raymond and Mary Beasecker; her first husband, Wilbur “Bud” Frantz; her second husband, Richard Forsyth; her daughter, Sandra Agee; and step-children Cheryl “Kay” Habel, Rick Forsyth, and Cathy Forsyth.

"And God shall wipe away all

tears from their eyes; and there

shall be no more death, neither

sorrow, nor crying, neither shall

there be any more pain; for the

former things are passed away---

Behold, I make all things new.----

He that overcometh shall inherit

all things; and I will be his God

and he shall be my son."

Revelation 21 4-7
